POV: Max

So basically elite isn’t any different than normal if I just hit his fatal spot huh, that sound quite easy.

“Of course it is easy, you are an assassin, it should be easier for you than for anyone else, what is so wonderful about that?” Asked Lulu who appeared on Max’s shoulder.

You don’t get it, I don’t know anything about assassinations, I would prefer if I was a fighter more than an assassin…

“Easy boy, and who told you that you won’t get a chance to fight, you think every fight will be solved in one hit K.O.?”

What do you mean by that?

“I mean what I said, unless you kill every single creature with one hit you will have a lot of fighting, assassination is more like first move bonus for you, you chose when and where you fight, that’s the advantage you get as an assassin.”

Okay, I somewhat get it now, but damn this Void dimension is awesome.

“It’s not as awesome as you think, down here in starting tunnels you don’t have any restriction on it, but that’s only here, when you leave this place a lot of restrictions will be put on you.”

Like what?

“Like cooldown time, time spent in this dimension, void creatures and so on…”

Void creatures? What are those?

“Those are non-physical creatures that hate every living being, they reside in void and they will sense every living being nearby in void and they will hunt you with all the hatred they have.”

What level are those void creatures usually?

“They don’t have actual levels so they will always appear like they are your level, but difference in power between you guys is too big for you to overcome, you can’t even touch them so don’t even think about fighting them, if you see one run like hell is after you.”

Will I recognize one if I see it?

“Don’t worry you will, in this colorless world only those creatures have a form, they aren’t shadowy silhouettes like everything else, so run from anything that has a form, no matter how harmless it looks.”

Sure, by the way Lulu, is this big shit in front of me an elite kobold?

“Why don’t you try inspecting it for once you moron, just think or say inspect and it will show you some basic information about it.”

Inspect!

“Kobold magus (Elite)

HP: 600 MP: 1250”

It really is an elite, and what about those small ones, inspect!

“Kobold guard

HP: 200”

So one elite mage and 3 guards, this should be easy enough for us, but wait that black guy said first monster killed will drop quest item so we can’t kill guards first, this might be little troublesome.

“Little troublesome? That’s an elite mage, even if it is an kobold it surely has quite a punch behind it’s spells, if you don’t wipe it out first it will wipe you guys out.”

I haven’t really asked you until now but what happens if we die?

“Nothing much, you die and if your souls aren’t destroyed they will be retained until end of the game and then you will be graded and sentenced accordingly.”

So there is no resurrection or whatever similar to it like in games?

“There is, you just don’t have it, that shaman friend of yours might get it, that blonde chick also, depends on what classes they pick later on.”

Classes? Didn’t we already pick our classes?

“No, you damn moron didn’t you listen at all? You picked bloodlines, yeah sure bloodlines can be awesome, but they don’t predetermine anything, they are just something like a minor help along to your class, unless you have a super awesome bloodline, then you might consider what class would you pick because of your bloodline.”

So when do we get to pick a class?

“You can get a class in 3 known ways, with class scroll, most of rare classes are in class scrolls, second is through the quest, you can get from ordinary all the way to some legendary classes in those quests, it totally depends on the quest and your performance on the quest and third way is NPC village, you can get ordinary and rare ones there, and if your luck is super amazing you might even get some legendary class there too. You can have up to two classes, one main class and other supporting class, first class you pick is considered your main class and second one is supporting one, you can overwrite your class choice but then you would have to level up new class all over again, you can also promote a class to an advanced rank if you get a promotion quest or scroll that is fitting for your class.”

Sound complicated.

“It gets easier in practice, you will understand it once you get there, for now you are classless and you shouldn’t think too much about it.”

Okay then, I should tell the guys that I found an elite here.
